Francine,

So glad that you found this out now!! Yes other docs

should have picked up on it earlier in childhood, I know every time my

daughters go to the doc they have them touch their toes and feel their spine.

Glad that she is taking it well. Let us know how the x-rays and stuff go.

Subject: Jenna Rose surprising new diagnosis

hello

Just saw someone post that they appreciate it when we post even

little things so wanted to let you know I took Jenna Rose to a really

excellent chiropractor yesterday as we started to notice that her hip

on one side looked higher. Well he told us she has scoliosis . Seeing

her in her underclothes and feeling how her spine curves was

surprising but when he got her to bend over I could not believe how

curved her spine is . This chiropractor could not believe that all

the other doctors did not detect this. I am wondering why I did not

pick up on it. She used to wear alot of loose jumpers etc and lately

has been wearing more form fitting tops and skirts so that is how we

started to notice. I did not notice this when she was younger and

want to ask him more about that , why it is so pronounced now .

I was very sick with ulcerative colitis when I was

pregnant with Jenna and low in folic acid and alot of minerals etc.

The chiropractor says he wishes he would have seen her 7 yrs ago when

she was 10 as he could have done alot more for her. He feels though

she is out of aline all the way up to her neck area and feels once he

gets some pressure off that it will benefit her swollowing. Jenna

felt quite overwelmed yesterday with it all as it is something else

to deal with . She also needs orthotic shoes as one leg is longer

than the other. I myself saw this diagnosis as a real answer to

prayer. I just felt that she will feel better with her spine being

encouraged back into the right position as it also is leaning on

nerves etc. This chiropractor has really helped me and my other

daughters

so I feel hopeful about it all .

Jenna Rose is feeling better about it today and will be going for hip

and full spine xrays soon.

Hope this is of interest to you. Happy Thanksgiving to our US

Hi Francine, I hope Jenna Rose is having a good day. It does seem like a lot for her to have to deal with. Hopefully, helping her spine will help her swallowing. My 9 year old daughter has achalasia (just had surgery 2 weeks ago), in June she had her tonsils/adenoids out and a year before that had a tumor on her finger removed. So she has felt like, "why does everything happen to me"? I bet Jenna Rose is feeling the same way. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Yaknow in a way this post was an eye opener for me because for months I have been wondering if this isn't a HUGE contributing factor to my severe swallowing difficulty. About 6 months ago I looked in the mirror and ofcourse besides being all bones from the weight loss cause I can't eat much I am TOTALLY crooked! My rib cage is so off it's ridiculous. My Right hip is WAY higher than my left and my left side rib cage sticks WAY out to the side. I always always forget to mention this to my doctor when I see him so he has no clue about this. Im going to make an appt with a chiropractor on Friday. Thanks for posting this and I SO hope this helps your daughter.
